ELEPHANTS At WORK.
How They Move and Pile Timber In th
Lumber Yards of RangoOn.

d0W EEey move AuU fEl4 1kIffO0E IN GN&
Lumber Yards Of Rangoon.
Lazy and clumsy~lookiug as the ele-
phant appears in our menagccies, where
it is merely au object OF curiosity, in
Asia it is as usefn! an animal as tie
horse, and is. indeed, employed in Il
greater variety of ways.
There are few, il amy, tasks which 3
horse can be trusted to perform with.
ont careful and constant guidance;
whereas the elephant is frequently
given as much Independence of action
as a man would have for the same
work. This is notably the case in the
lumber yards of Rangoon and Maul.
mein, where the entire operat ON Of
moving and pil:ng the heavy timber is
performed by n.ale elephants without
any special supervision by the keepers.
The logs to be moved arc teak-wood,
which is very heavy. They are cut into
lengths of twenty feet, with a diameter
of perhaps a square Of about a foot.
An elephant will go to a log, kneel
down, thrust his tusks under the mid.
die of it, curl his trunk over it, test it
to see that it is evenly balanced, and
then rise with it and easily carry it to
the pile which is being made. Placing
the log carefully on the pile in its
proper place, the sagaciovs animal will
step back a few PAGES and measure
with his eye to determine whether OF
not the log needs pushing one way OF
another. 1t will then make any neces.
sary alteration Of position. In this
way, without a word Of command from
its mahout, or driver, it will go on with
its work.
To do any special task, it must, Of
course, be directed by the mahout; but
it is marvellous to see how rapidly this
great creature comprehends its lnstruc-
tions, and how ingeniously it makes
use of its strength. II log too heavy !
to be carried is to be, moved <a-short
distance, the elephant will bend low,
place his great head against the end Of
the log and then with sudden exer-
ton of strength and weight throw his
body forward and fairly push the log
along; or to move the log any great
distance, he will encircle it with
chain and drag his load behind him.
As rule, however, the work OF
dragging is done by the female ele-
plants, since, having no tusks. they
can not carry logs as the male ele.
plants do. A man could hardly dis
play more judgment in the adjustment
Of the rope or chain around a log n...
could man with his two hands tie or
unite knots more skillfully than do they
with their trunks Johz. 3. loryel. III
